Mercer Cutlery has been making knives for better than 30 years, and has perfected its art with quality materials and craftsmanship at an agreeable price point. Mercer knives are made from high-carbon/no-stain German steel that can keep up with the leading competition. Mercer Culinary has evolved from once being the highest contributor to schools across the nation to today bringing consumers commercial, NSF-certified knives right into the home.

Mercer knives are made from the same German steel as the leading knife competition, but at a much wallet-friendlier price point. Though the Everything Kitchens crew is divided over which company makes the best commercially-available knives today, there are several in the office who swear by Mercer Cutlery for its value and blade quality. The Mercer Millennia, Mercer Renaissance, and Mercer Genesis lines all include limited lifetime warranties, and are equally as at home in a professional restaurant as they are a household kitchen.
